Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ouch

    Painless compression and decompression in the terminal

  • https://github.com/ouch-org/ouch/issues/151 covers my --no-spam suggestion. someone was 20 hours faster than I

  • committed

    Nitpicking commit history since beabf39

  • For colors, I've found yansi to be great to work with. I then use concolor-control (example) and `concolor-clap (no clap3 support yet, example part 1 and example part 2). As you can see, I also like to organize my colors by the styling role they fill. The only reason I wrapped in that example is its part of the crate's API and didn't want the public API tied to yansi.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • clap-rs

    A full featured, fast Command Line Argument Parser for Rust

  • Unsure about other contributors but I'm going to hold off on this until we have can reuse the existing help generation

  • team

    CLI working group (by rust-cli)

  • I'm a little leery of clap taking on the role of color control. I've found that each library with "auto" support does it slightly differently and that really the best place for that policy is in the caller so there is a consistent experience and so it can adapt to the caller's needs. The WG-CLI has talked about this in the past and concolor family of crates is the result. I'm waiting on feedback for termcolor's use case (non-ANSI) before going 1.0 at which point we will probably make this the backend for clap's auto color support.

  • concolor

    Discontinued Colored Console primitives for Rust CLIs
